Fumes Lyrics

[Bridge]
Stay awake little misfit
Her lips wet a very particular mischief
Sis' wiggle an index, if your limbs let
Or settle for a warm burgundy bubble out of her beak instead


[Hook]
An object at rest tends to remain at rest
And an object in motion tends to remain in motion
With the same speed... slow down
With the same speed... slow down
With the same speed... slow down
And in the same direction
Down... down... down...

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

About

Genius Annotation

This is the 5th song on Aesop Rock’s 5th studio album.

Aesop tells the tale of a man who is down on his luck and living with woman who is an addicted fiend. They have symbiotic relationship, as he provides her with a home and feeds her addiction, while she puts out to him. He holds truly romantic feelings for her, and assuming she feels the same, pours his heart to her. She is both uncaring and condescending towards his attempts, as her only love is the “love” she feels for the drugs. Distraught by this, the man leaves to think, returning only to find her overdosed body.
